Jermaine Cole AKA J. Cole has kinda responded to Kendrick Lamar’s “Control” verse by way of Justin Timberlake’s, TKO(Remix). I wouldn’t really call this a sufficient response, Cole kinda tapped Kendrick, but I wouldn’t really consider this a true battle. The response is too little too late in my opinion. Back in the day when Kool Moe D said LL Cool J’s name on a record there was an instant response, which is the pure essence of the hip hop battle. I really think all the rappers named on “Control,” missed the whole point of Kendrick’s verse. It wasn’t really about a diss record, it was about trying to take hip hop back to the way it was back in the day. Well I guess better later than never. Oh and I forgot the song also features A$AP Rocky *yawn* and Pusha T.
